18k Rose GOLD Cabochon Nephrite JADE Art Nouveau Antique Ring Filigree Green RAR

Description

Selling a collection of antique turn of the century rings. Many more coming soon - thanks for stopping by!  : )
ABOUT:
Antique 18k gold ring
with large green oval cabochon nephrite jade, bezel set and surrounded by a delicate filigree outline.  This is an antique piece that I acquired
from a fun little shop on the east coast that sold antique and vintage jewelry from the area. The 18k gold has a beautiful rosy patina from age.  The gold setting could be polished and brighten up, which I am happy to do if you please, but many prefer the old patina.  Lovely smooth feel to the top of the stone and it
makes a statement with the large size and beautiful outline.
It was sold to me as an antique Jade ring, and I tested it on my presidium gem tester and it reached the Nephrite section, it did not reach to Jadeite.
Antique box in photos not included.
HALLMARKS:
Marked 18k inside the band.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Size 6 3/4. The ring face is 3/4 inch by 5/8 inch.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
This pre owned piece is in estate condition.  When you hold it up and look at it from the side you can see the ring face is slightly tilted.  This is not really visible when it is on your finger but I tried to show it in photos. Some surface wear to the jade seen under magnification, to the naked eye it appears as a slightly matte finish here or there, but it has a pretty sheen, almost satin like.  No chips or cracks.  Surface wear and scratches to the gold band from age and wear.  Due to age - please note this is not a mint condition item.
Thanks so much for looking at my store!
